England leading 10-0 at the time and camping on the Australia line and Potter holds Ben Earl up over the line, moments later he shoots up 10m from his own try line and intercepts the ball to run the length of the field and score taking the game to 10-7 at half time.

The second half turned 51 minutes in when England brought on five British & Irish Lions into the game and eight minutes later Henry Pollock added another great individual try to his collection. From then England got their maul working and closed the game out.
